Star Wars --- Sneak Peak...

Ready to go - see it I will - it can not be worse than the last one and maybe Lucas can save some face if he can direct 'some' of the actors to actually act in this one - maybe some better lines as well. It can make the prequels better or damn them to obscurity...I am hoping for better.
 
All in all, I feel kind of bad for George Lucas. Here he is, feeling the passion to reignite his old work, and having to deal with EVERYONE'S expectations, feeling like if the movies aren't perfect (which they obviously have not been), he might die a ruined man. Don't get me wrong, I haven't exactly been thrilled with Episodes I and II, but I can't even imagine the insane pressure he must have been/is currently under. Must be hard.

Then again, I find it equally hard to see how someone could think Jar Jar Binks was a good idea.

I have a hard time feeling bad for George Lucas. He should have just produced the new trilogy instead of producing/directing. He just doesn't bring out the best in his actors. Star Wars succeeded because of when it was released. Back in 1977 we never saw anything like it. It was like Tora Tora Tora in space. If it came out now, even with top of the line special effects, it would be a flop. Mark Hamill's acting was awful in the first trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I love the first movies, but more from growing up with them. I think he should have let someone like Spielburg direct to get better performances from the cast.
 
Too much greenscreen. Looks too fake, most of the interior scenes. The exterior scenes look awesome, but something about the fakeness of greenscreen ILM have not overcome. So many times, it looks too clean. A New Hope had that gritty look plus wonderful acting by Hans Solo you'd really grew to love the characters. The characters in Ep1 and 2 are so dull it almost borders on hilarity.
 
I am psyched to see this film, the pics with spoilers were awesome, but shouldn't be any big revelation to fans. I thought that Ep II was a decent movie overall, though I didn't care for I, however, I think when it is all done I will understand its existance. But this movie looks like it should redeem the whole new trilogy, even for those that hated the first two. I will be there for the midnight showing....if I can secure tickets :D

IMHO Star Wars I & II were just as good as the original trilogy. Really looking forward to Star Wars III.
 
The first three were good because we were kids, Back then pulling your teeth out and getting money for them seemed like a good thing.

Now people are still going to see these films in the hope that some how the next one will be better ..... are we waiting for windoze longhorn too.
